Caitlyn Spane said she had a reason for resisting arrest.

When she tussled with two officers as they tried to handcuff her, one of the officers stunned her several times.

She said it all started when she said a policeman in an unmarked car tried to get her to pull over.

She said she saw flashing blue lights, but was afraid to stop.

Byram police said they have body camera footage of the incident that supports their charges.

“When I got to my home, immediately, he came out to my car and grabbed me with one hand and tried to arrest me with the other hand. I felt like Ian’s … didn’t. I said, ‘Sir, can you at least tell me? Why can you tell me? Why am I being arrested? What did I do?”

“It just upsets me to see that that could happen to anyone of us of color. It’s not so much that happens to white people all the time. It happens to people of color, and they don’t want to explain themselves to us,” Spencer Spane said.

Caitlyn Spane faces several charges, including simple assault of an officer and resisting arrest.
